I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.
Michael Sheen

Well, I think tone is very important with this show [Masters of Sex] because there are certain elements or certain aspects to the show that may be reminiscent of other shows. But, it really is a very new kind of show, in terms of the subject matter and the way it's being dealt with, and the fact that it's about real people and real events.

It's interesting that in searching for monsters to play you often end up playing leaders.

You don't want to get into doing the same thing, over and over again. I know I don't.

I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.

We see death constantly on film.

I think when you work on a Woody Allen film the actors become a real company, probably more than on any other film.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

My dad is a Jack Nicholson lookalike and a frustrated performer, my mother's into reading and poetry. I suppose the thing I owe them most is my confidence.

When I was at drama school, I wanted to change the world, and thought I had some great wisdom to impart to people about humanity. Now that I'm older, I know enough to realise that I know nothing at all.

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality. The more fantastical characters, or fantastical worlds that they inhabit are really fun and allow you, in some ways, to tell stories and reveal things about our lives that would be harder to take, in a more realistic setting.

I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.

What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.

Having said that, what I think we found, in doing the show, and in life, generally, is that the more you try to separate sex from everything else, it's impossible. You can't. The act of observation affects the actual experiment, and we see that in this.

Americans are much more open than people in Britain.
Michael Sheen

I think I'm becoming more relaxed in front of a camera. I suppose I'll always feel slightly more at home on stage. It's more of an actor's medium. You are your own editor, nobody else is choosing what is being seen of you.

We knew, very early on, that we had to be very, very clear that directors need to speak to actors and actresses and be very clear about what is expected, and find out whether they're comfortable with that. Wardrobe has to be in place. There have to be checks.

I try not to pay any attention to clothes fascism and I'd rather be thought of as someone who has his own sense of style.

'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big, unknowable questions like what it is to be a human being the difference between sanity and insanity the meaning of life and death what's real and not real. All these subjects can literally drive you mad.

I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.
